FormerlyUnknown Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Bullet it is then, announcer engrish be damned! If this is how we're doing things, can it finally be arachne instead of ARA-kune!
Chazmobile Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 I don't think we will ever see kokonoe as a playable character, simply because she is not a fighter, she is a scientist. We got Relius as a playable character and he isn't a fighter, he's a scientist as well.
YukiBlue Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Okay. I need to talk some Bang right now. 5D Cannot be JC'd and cannot combo into 623B = No Midscreen Launcher on crouching. xx > 6C > j.D = You can tech j.D now. Not even 2A will connect. So this has killed a strong midscreen BNB (Or 2) 623B not bouncing in corner = Murders his corner game to oblivion. What benefit does the corner give now without bounce? When can I daifunka? My mind is full of fuck right now, none of this seems logical. They've taken a shitload away but not given him anything to make up for it. What do?

Tokkan Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Bear in mind that this is only the first location test, changes here are about as likely to stick as a wet band-aid.

Welcome to how all Makoto player's felt during Extend.
YukiBlue Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 It still worries me that they made these changes in the first place. Is there a logical explanation for hitting a character that hard? Those nerfs would make Makoto have a seat. But alas. First Loketest.
clad120 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 We got Relius as a playable character and he isn't a fighter, he's a scientist as well. Yes, but relius was obviously announced as a fighter (father of carl, puppet mother), there was no surprise, also kokonoe has never shown any sign of fighting abilities (except in tager's bad end ) This line in the wiki is interesting too Despite being active on the battlefield as much as any character, Kokonoe does not display any combat prowess. It sure would be awesome to have kokonoe join the cast, but there is no sign of here taking part in the fight of course it's all speculation, I'd never exepcted makoto to join either (thanks god she is here)

Also, Kokonoe almost certainly has combat prowess, she's been called out on it by both Hakumen and Relius.
Chazmobile Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 snip What I mean with the Relius comparison to Kokonoe is that Relius literally is not a fighter, his only two attacks where he himself hits the opponent is his 5a and 2a. Every other attack involves him using his science and ingenuity to hurt the opponent rather than his own combat prowess. Heck, without Ignis (created by his science) he is utterly useless. In regards to Kokonoe then, it's very easy to visualise her fighting in the same fashion as Relius, using her science and her mind rather than her own physical strength. Plus, it was revealed that she can use sorcery much like her mother Nine.
clad120 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 I hope you guys are right, I can easily imagine her fighting with huges machines and inventions coming out of nowhere I believe it would be more the funny fighter than the serious fighter.
SolarMisae Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 It still worries me that they made these changes in the first place. Is there a logical explanation for hitting a character that hard? Those nerfs would make Makoto have a seat. But alas. First Loketest. It just means they're experimenting with new stuff for a character, sometimes yeah that means just taking away all their shit for no real reason. It doesn't have to have any logic really, if it makes sense to them then thats that. Honestly, they may have taken away things but give him other stuff that people just haven't found yet. And yeah, if if that ISN'T the case, it's just the first loljoketest. So just relax. If it's still like that in the final version, then it's time for crying~
Saltynapalm Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Azrael looks pretty cool, kind of like Kouma from Melty blood. Some bunker busting moves there. Hope those valkenhayn reworks don't change his playstyle too much.
WolfCrimson Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Azrael's drive reminds me of Johnny's Bacchus Sigh (I think it was called that) where it makes his Mist Finer unblockable. Seems like Azrael is gonna become a scary character, which is funny since his drive is called The Terror. Subbing him for sure.
2Zak Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 I was looking at some loketest videos now (thanks, Isuna!) and noticed that Hazama can do stance->dash->followup, looks cool. I was thinking about half-assedly learn Hazama on CP (DAT CURBSTOMP DISTORTION), I like that.
Valthazeryus Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) I don't know if I am allowed to post this information in loketest and translations area. I don't know if anybody posted about Tager, but I was able to loketest him after two hours in line. His Atomic Collider was changed. It now might have weaker magnetic pull. Also, after release, the opponent ground bounces extremely high. Also, his air 236A/B is what's shown in the video. 360C has magnetism pull in air. It's basically Tager doing exact same thing as 360A and B, but in the air hovering. His new 623D Spark Bolt goes diagonally up and forward. Just idea for Tager players. Like everyone says, these probably aren't staying, but it's an idea of what they're innovating. Many people love playing Amane. Some Bullet. Few Azrael. Character screens very similar to GG. Pallete selection similar to Persona. Moving silhouettes in transition stages of arcade mode. Edited August 9, 2012 by Valthazeryus
Tokkan Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 http://blazblue.jp/topics.html#topics419 現在、Hey(秋葉原)にて実施中の新作アーケードゲーム 『BLAZBLUE CHRONOPHANTASMA』ロケテストにおきまして、 明日、8月10日（金）より最新版のロムへ差し替える事をお知らせいたします。 今後とも弊社ソフトウェアへのご愛顧、宜しくお願い申し上げます。 A new build has been pushed for the location test and will be at Akihabara Hey from tomorrow. Expect new changes.
.:TM:. Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 I think it'd be a pretty big slap in the face if after sort've teasing the possibility of Kokonoe to crowds awhile back if they didn't add her by the end of the series. Unless they later decided the demand for her wasn't big enough. Yeah.....that would be really lame of Mori to tease Kokonoe and now follow through. I think they decided to save the wanted characters either for a later announcement or as DLC since a lot of people would buy Kokonoe.
Chazmobile Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 http://blazblue.jp/topics.html#topics419 A new build has been pushed for the location test and will be at Akihabara Hey from tomorrow. Expect new changes. I really hope they do what they did in the GGAC+R loketests and release a changelist for the characters.
Valthazeryus Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 That reminds me, Mori did make an appearance today. Nobody knows really why he showed up.
Chaoschao222 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 A new build has been pushed for the location test and will be at Akihabara Hey from tomorrow. Expect new changes. Well tits, that was fast.
Isuna Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 O_O Did anyone mention... CHANGES?! So basically, after getting four hours sleep, travelling one and half hours, standing in line for Comiket for three and half hours, probably queue for the things I want at Comiket for one hour, I MUST GO TO AKIHABARA!?! >_> Couldn't this loketest been in two weeks. >_> If I am not dead by noon tomorrow, expect some footage. XD
SoWL Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Also, his air 236A/B is what's shown in the video. Uhh, what? His movelist doesn't show anything like that. It's not different with the Japanese anyway. Both are written and read the same. Actually, there are multiple possible spellings, and バレット is not really the most obvious one.
Gemakai Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 If I am not dead by noon tomorrow, expect some footage. XD We appreciate your hard work Isuna
